Mosaic analysis • Assay adult phenotype of an embryonic lethal. • Determine the site of action of a gene product. • Analyze Zygotic lethal/Maternal effect mutants.

Pure zygotic screens + Bal Oogenesis Zygote Assume pure expression of a gene from the zygotic genome only. + Bal
Pure maternal screens + Bal Oogenesis Zygote Assume pure maternal expression of a gene + Bal
Exceptions to the strict assumptions 1. Maternal rescue 2. Zygotic lethal/Maternal effect
Maternal Rescue Zygote + Bal The maternally supplied transcript rescues the zygotic loss of function. Oogenesis
Maternal Rescue Hide an essential role for a gene in embryonic pattern formation. Pure zygotic screens may miss important functions.
Pure maternal screens + Bal Oogenesis Zygote Assume pure maternal expression of a gene + Bal
Zygotic lethal/Maternal effect + Bal Oogenesis Zygote Dies at late larval stage or pupal stage + Bal We can not assay if the gene has a maternal effect phenotype.
Zygotic lethal/Maternal effect Since a homozygous adult mother can not be established, we can not assay whether the gene contributes information to the egg.
Screen for maternal rescue and zygotic lethal/maternal effect 1/2 to 2/3 of lethal mutations are not embyonic lethal. Norbert Perrimon collected a large # of late larval and pupal lethals.
